I've never heard of that but I can look, thanks.

Yes there is a Makro nearby, I'd never noticed containers but I'll look, I have to go there soon.

I've looked. They have some but they are mostly transparent which isn't good, it allows algae, and most of them are ridiculously expensive. I get my 20L containers there for 200 baht each, I don't want to pay 700 or more for a 5L. However I'll have one of my Thai staff search Lazada and Shopee in Thai.

Hi. Anyone have any midsized plastic protein powder containers they don't need? I have a couple that I use for mid-sized hydroponic plants, and need some more. I'm in Bangkok, happy to compensate you and arrange the shipping. Containers cannot have cracks/holes (they will hold water for the plants). I'm currently using 5 lb. Optimum Nutrition containers, to give you an idea of size. I'm attaching a photo to show you what I'm looking for. Thanks.

Anyone know where in Thailand I can buy solid plastic buckets with lids, preferably a dark color? I need mid-sized containers to use for hydroponic pepper plants. thx.

The fact that under-skin vaccinations for rabies is effective has no bearing on whether or not it will be effective with any of the various COVID-19 vaccines. As one poster mentioned, a (very) small Leiden University study (not really a study, more like initial tests) has indicated that a 1/10-1/5 dose under the skin produced antibodies in similar amounts to having previously had a COVID infection (although I haven't seen any indication of how long after an infection they are comparing the antibody levels to), and their tests were performed with Moderna which isn't being used here. Leiden University has yet to do a full large-scale study and is in fact crowdsourcing funding to help pay for such a study (a fact in itself which gives me pause). Their work has neither been published nor peer reviewed. I have to wonder which vaccine is being considered for this type of use in Thailand. In my opinion, the knee jerk reaction is not being displayed by those of us questioning this tactic, but by those considering its widespread use without scientific data to back it up.

I got the call as well. I asked why they called, they said they got my name from ExpatVac. However, I'd already been vaccinated through ExpatVac last week. I guess they're just using master lists that haven't been updated.

I received my ExpatVac appointment at Samitivej in BKK by email last week and had my first dose of Pfizer last Thursday. This morning I received a phone call from Bumrungrad offering me Pfizer. I asked why they were calling, they said they got my number from ExpatVac. I am not sure why Bumrungrad didn't know I had already received the vaccine, since both communications were a result of ExpatVac (the only site I've been eligible to sign up at). In any case, as others have said, answer every call.

I hadn't seen the following details posted so I thought I would share. I received an appt. for my vaccine on the 19th through ExpatVac. As I will eventually be returning to the US and live in a location requiring proof of a US recognized vaccination for entry into businesses, I emailed ACS (American Citizen Services) to assist in making sure my vaccine is Pfizer. Their automated email reply made 2 points: 1) They begin the email stating that any question answered on their website or in this automated email will not receive any personal response from ACS or the Embassy The first point in the email concerns COVID-19 vaccinations in Thailand. So I won't be receiving any further reply or assistance. Following is the content of the email concerning vaccines in Thailand. While I already have known, due to their silence, that the US State Department and its Embassy in Bangkok have abandoned Americans here during this crisis, it stings a bit to see this in black and white. They're happy to tax us while we are here, but will provide no support during a health crisis. Also note that everything that I have chronicled and experienced related to the inability for American citizens to receive vaccinations in Thailand, as well as everything I have learned about who has been given access to the US-donated Pfizer vaccines, has been forwarded to my Representative in the House. His Director of Special Projects has already begun contact with the US Embassy in Bangkok in Congress' role of oversight over the Executive Branch. I encourage every American to contact their representatives and share their stories, from websites that either haven't worked or have had no response, to the inability for younger healthy Americans to even sign up for vaccines (especially US approved vaccines), or any other information they have. Your representatives have staff whose job it is to assist their constituents. Let's make them work for us. --- COVID-19 Vaccination Information The Royal Thai Government (RTG) has informed the U.S. Embassy that it opened a new website for U.S. citizens and other expatriates of all age groups in Thailand to pre-register for the COVID-19 vaccine. A second website regularly updated by the Department of Disease Control (DDC) also lists several hospitals in Bangkok and other provinces that will accept pre-registration for Covid-19 vaccines. Using the links below, you may pre-register for a COVID-19 vaccine by providing your personal information to request an appointment to receive the vaccine. For general pre-registration with the RTG in all areas of Thailand please click on this link: https://expatvac.consular.go.th/ For pre-registration at specific hospitals through the Intervac program, please click on this link: https://thailandintervac.com/public.php. Intervac is mainly servicing the Bangkok area currently. More vaccine choices and hospital options will be added as the program expands. Please continue to check that website for updates. The websites above are run by the RTG. The ACS unit is not able to assist in answering technical questions about these websites. If the websites are not accepting information, we suggest monitoring the websites and trying again at a later time. Please Note: By registering with these websites, your information is going directly to the Royal Thai Government and hospital coordinating officials, not the U.S. Embassy. The U.S. Embassy will not have access to information on the form, and by law the U.S. Government is prohibited from sharing information about U.S. citizens to a foreign government. U.S. Embassy Thailand’s official announcement regarding the Pfizer vaccine donation to Thailand can be found at this link. This vaccine donation does not come with strings attached, and we are happy to hear the Royal Thai Government has committed to distributing these vaccines equitably to all residents of Thailand and to prioritizing those most at risk. The Royal Thai Government has full control of vaccine supplies and the U.S. Embassy will not have a role in the distribution. If the Thai Government makes the Pfizer vaccines available to U.S. citizens it will be through the registration programs listed above. ACS will update our website and Facebook and Twitter resources when there is additional verifiable information about the Pfizer vaccine availability.
